try. These inestimable advantages
should be jealously guarded, and a
careful and enlightened policy on the
part Of the Government thould secure
them to the people.
In the case under consideration l
assume that there is an abundance
Of land within the area which has
been reserved for indemnity, in which
no citizen or settler has q legal or
equitable interest for all purposes Of
such iudemniGcation to this railroad
company, if its grant has not already
been satisfied. l understand, too,
that selections made by such corpo-
rations are not complete and effect
ual until the same have been ap-
proved by the secretary of the inte-
rior, or unless they are made, in the
words Of the statute, under his direc-
tion.
You have thus far taken no action
in this matter, and it seems to me
that you are in a condition to deal
with the subject in such q manner as
to protect this settler from hardship
and loss. I transmit herewith the
papers and documents relating to the
case, which were submitted to me at
my request.
I suggest that you exercise the
power and authority you have in the
premises, upon equitable considera-
tions, with every presumption and
intendment in favor of the settler {:
and in case you find this corporation
is entitled to select any more of these
lands than it has already acquired,
that you direct it to select in lieu Of
the land upon which Mr.. Miller has
settled, other land within the limits
of this indemnity reservation, upon
which neither he nor any other citizen
has in good faith settled or made i'm
provements.
call your attention to Sections
2,450 and 2,451 of the Revised Stat
utes as pointing out mode of proce-
dure which perhaps be resorted
/ IS if necessary for the purpose of
reaching just and equitable dispo'
sition of the case. The suggestions
herein contained can. J. believe, be
adopted without disr, yarding or call
ing IN question the opinion of tile at
torney general upon the purely legal
propositions which were submitted
to him. Yours very truly,

Mexico's Stern Justice.
CHICAGO, May GA special from
Guaymas, Mexico, says:

CHICAGO, May GA special from
Guaymas, Mexico, says:
AT sunrise yesterday the judg-
ment of tue court-martial in the cases
of Col. Aryizu, Lieut.. Guiteres and
end Louis Rencon, was executed.
The trio faced death brayely, and re-
fused at first to have their eyes band
aged, but finally on the appeal Of Col.
Tarrati, the men allowed themselves
to be blindfolded. A volley was
then fired on the condemed men, and
the examining surgeon d few minutes
later pronounced all three dead.
These we're the persons who created
the trouble on the American side OF
the line some weeks ago. They
brought a squad of soldiers to the
American side and attempted to re-.
lease a man from the local officers.
The man was not under arrest, but
the officers were taking charge of him
to keep him out of trouble. The
three condemned men were held in
jail at Nogales for some time. but a
sufficient number of army officers
could not reach there to try the case.
The men were brought here and a
sufficient number secured, and the
trial began, resulting as stated. Col'
Aryizu had been q prominent man IN
Mexican military and political circles
but was much inclined to dissipation.
He was a fine looking man, tall and
erect, with q graceful figure and hand
some face"

A ROMANCE OF FINANCE.
A Wonderful Story Of an Honest South
ern Bookkeeper.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 6.-The
Register tonight prints remarkable
story Of financial integrity on the
part Of a Southern capitalist, which
stands without parallel in the COM
mercial history of the country. The
names Of the principals are withheld,
but the eminent respectability Of the
counsel in the case, Ex-Judge Lazon
B. Morris of this city, is sufficient
guarantee of it's truthfulnes. The
Register says that at the beginning
of the civil war a wealthy Southern
grocer, who had recently taken his
young. bookkeeper into partnership,
fearing that his property would be
coniscated, decided to 60 North. Ke
told tile bookkeeper to use the prop
erty, valued at about: 100000, as he
thought best, and that ne, the mer-.
ei1s2t Grant would rely upon the book
keepers honor for a settlement at
some future time. The merchant
then came North and settled in
| New Haven. In 1866 wonder.
ing what had become of his es-
tate in the South, the merchant
placed the matter in the hands
Of Judge Morris with instructions to
investigate and collect if there was
anything to collect. After some
correspondence with the bookkeeper
at the South, the latter forwarded aa
acknowledgment Of the claim, and
an inventory, showing his indebted
ness to his former employer to be
$64s,0O0, and expressed his desire to
return the property, but requested
time to perfect the arrangement. He
began remitting several years ago
and last week forwarded the last pay
ment, including the interest. thus
wiping out the debt of honor. Judge
Morris declines to give details further
than that mis- client is a millionaire,
and that the Southeren gentleman is
now a wealthy banker.

An Editorial Judgment Of the Supreme
Court.
GROVER CLEVELAND

The Abbeville Press and Banner
is warm. 1t says:
We copy into these columns the
judicial mons,rosity emanating from
a divided supreme court. in the Rush
case, which decision violates every
sense of justice, overrides the consti-
tuition, and puts an unsupportable
construction on the meaning of an
act of the legislature.
The people of the State must seek
in some way to be relieved Of the
grievous wrong which has been in.
ficted at the fountain head to which
we have heretofore looked for 8 fair
and impartial judgment. If these
learned judges who assume to set
their own opinions against ninety
per cent. of the bar and solid cir
cult bench cannot be induced to re-
consider their unjust decision in the
Rush case, then the Legislature should
come to the relief Of the people.
Hon. Edward McCrady. jr., of
Charleston, in the Nears and Courier
of yesterday, suggests as a remedy
that the number of supreme judges
be increased, and among other things,
says:
Judge Hudson hears this case on
the circuit and decides it in one way.
The case goes to the supreme court,
and there Judge MCGOWAN concurs
with Judge Hudson, but Judges
Simpson and McIyer differ with
Judges MCGOWAN and Hudson; and
thereupon we have tero judges over
ruled by taro judges. Such a decision
decides the case in hand, but it can
not settle the law, because on its
face it shows an even division of
legal opinion. For, I take it, it is no
disparagement Of any member Of the
supreme bench to say that Judge
Hudson as lawyer is not his infe-
rior.'
This is putting the case strongly.
Besides this the invitation to make
comparisons between the ability of
MCGOWAN and Hudson, and Simpson
and McIver is as significant as it is
gentle.
The Abbeyille bar is almost q unit
in the belief that the judgment of the
court in the Rush case is erroneous.
If our supreme judges continue to
override the law in reference to
granting bail to murderers of every
degree, and then add to their past
usefulness in destroying public cou-
fdence, a decision in reference to
property which is violative Of law
and ruinous to the business interests
of the country, the people are in a
lamentable fix. When the people
lose confidence in the courts, who
can foreteli the end?

The devils Of the New Testament
were demons or evil spirits, such as
have existed from the earliest times
among all people. Those which were
cast out of Mary Madgalen, and
those of the man legion which caused
the swine to commit suicide, were
mere servants or imps of Satan. But
it was the master devil himself who
tried for forty days to get the Savior
into his power, as is recorded in
Luke, chapter iy.
Morcure D. Conway, the only
modern writer who has attempted
anything like history of devils, says
that demons are older than the devil

numerous than the good spirits that
the word at last came to signify only
what was bad.
The serpent is the most commonly
accepted type of a devil in both Chris

are, however, scarcely any living an

The Rainy Buttes Sentinel, the able

with prediction, abundant evidence to
back it. THE West Missouri country

been almost unknown, on account of
its inaccessibleness to railroads. until
within a few years. and it's rich re-
sources have gone unmerited. But
this is no longer to be the case. Our
coal is wanted in other parts of the
territory; Il grazing lands are expe-
dent on account of the abundance of
water. The railroad companies real
lze the fact that this country is about
to make a grand and lasting step to-
wards the most wealthy and prosper
Gus section of Dakota. and in view of
this they have extended their lines in
this direction until now they hover
just on the verge of making a grand
rush for the supremacy of a country
which is destined to rank first. Those
who have pushed their way to thi:
country on these hopes, have not Ion;
to wait when the most sanguine ex
